Mailing Lists
We can supply you with any kind of mailing list to target the audience that will
most likely respond to your mail campaign. We utilize the following
services to update and certify that your addresses are deliverable.
National Change of
Address (NCOA) Over 40 million Americans
change addresses annually, which creates formidable obstacles in maintaining a
high-quality mailing list that tracks customers who move. The National Change of
Address (NCOA) program makes change-of-address information available to mailers
to help reduce undeliverable or duplicate mailpieces. NCOA service is a
comprehensive program that aids mailers in identifying changes of address before
mail enters the mailstream.
The NCOA service is provided by
private sector companies that are certified and licensed by the Postal Service.
Updated, computerized change-of-address information is provided on a regularly
scheduled basis to the NCOA licensees by the USPS. The result is improved mail
deliverability by providing mailers with current, standardized 5-digit ZIP
Codes, 4-digit add-on codes, and 2-digit delivery point coded addresses for
individual, family, and business moves.
INCOA helps reduce
undeliverable-as-addressed mail by correcting input addresses prior to mailing.
Since 1986, this service has saved mailers millions of dollars that otherwise
would have been wasted in materials and postage.
NCOA provides the following benefits
to mailers:
Reduces undeliverable mail by
providing the most current address information for matches made to the NCOA
File.
Prevents duplicate mailpieces or
re-mailings after address corrections are received because the address
correction is applied prior to the mailing.
Reduces mailer costs by reducing
the number of undeliverable and duplicate mailpieces by using most current
address information.
Provides the opportunity for faster
product/service marketing through accurate mail delivery.
Coding Accuracy
Support System (CASS)
The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) improves
the accuracy of carrier route, five-digit ZIP, ZIP+4, and delivery point codes
that appear on mailpieces. Anchorside's Software is CASS Certified.
Presort
Accuracy, Validation, and Evaluation (PAVE) The Presort Accuracy, Validation, and
Evaluation (PAVE) program is a process designed in cooperation with the mailing
industry to evaluate presort software and determine its accuracy in sorting
address files according to Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) standards. PAVE is
available only to software and hardware developers, i.e., companies that develop
presort software or manufacture presorting equipment for resale or internal use.
Participation in the program is purely voluntary. Anchorside's Software is
PAVE Gold Certified.
